If they're ever thinking about developing some sort of system that pushes further you'd expect that somebody would be trying to work on developing games for it and that's going to take time, could that be in some sort of next version of the hardware? Who knows, i would love to see that because it would mean that other games that go across platform could finally play on the switch better and would enable cross compatibility of more games and just make that pipeline easier however would that mean some sort of tiering level. The nintendo 3ds was a completely new console from the ds but it also played nintendo ds games, nintendo could go in that direction but then how would you make it clear how well games played on one versus the other? That would remain to be seen.

The other thing i'd really like to see is an improved set of joy cons. The nintendo joy cons were very innovative when they came out in 2017, they have not changed now there are all sorts of weirdnesses to them. Those little controllers have had drift problems for a lot of people where they slowly break down over time and get weird. The buttons feel cramped, the thing that bugs me the most is the trigger, the triggers are not analog they're these click triggers that doesn't really match anything else that i play with in other game consoles and i feel like a lot of games take advantage of analog triggers for all sorts of things.

I'd love to see some sort of pro design where the joy con gets reinvented. Uh becomes more reliable adds some of those things like analog triggers improves the haptics or that vibrating feedback even further, it would be great if those were if original joy cons were compatible with that new switch but who knows it does feel like the controllers are due for some sort of reinvention at some point in fact that would be the feature that i would look forward to the most. Even above the graphics at the moment but at some point of course i'd want the graphics too.

The other thing i just mentioned that before is display and the nintendo switch already updated its display to an oled which looks really good and actually makes a surprising difference, but it's still 720p it's 7 inches but i find that when i'm looking at some text and other things there may be some limitations in how detailed it can get. 1080p seems like a natural way to go especially if you're going to go to 4k on a tv you have 1080p on the handheld for some sort of next generation switch beyond that i don't really have a lot on my list in fact i don't even know if i'd think about nintendo reinventing their gaming concept all over again right now.

The switch and its portable dockable style of gameplay seems perfect it might be really cool if the doc could play the games without the switch. Guess what i mean by that is that it could be its own independent console, i mean i've already thought about what if you know there was a a switch console that wasn't the tablet and you kind of inevitably think about that to just play games like a little box connected to a tv.

I guess what i mean by that is that it could be its own independent console. I think i still think other companies should adopt that idea and i'm surprised that there aren't more switchable types of modular devices especially with those joy cons sliding in and out so i think just evolving that further seems like the way to go.

We don't know much else at this point in fact a lot of things that we were expecting from a switch pro ended up emerging on the oled switch and that raises the question on whether nintendo maybe decided not to make a switch pro as it had been reported or you know is there something further down the line that's a true switch do at the moment in 2022 i say just kind of hold on there and hang in but when i think about nintendo and the gaming landscape it feels like between tablets phones playstation 5 xbox series x and s a lot of these systems and their ability to stream games and play more advanced games now feel like they've taken several steps ahead of where nintendo is at which does make it feel like nintendo should upgrade its hardware at some point five years has been an amazing run but sooner or later we're going to hear about what nintendo has in store next and ideally it will be something that builds on the switch platform that already exists.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe nintendo switch five years in could they be ready for a sequel so the switch came out in 2017 five years ago which seems like a really long time it is a long time but it spanned this weird period that was also the pandemic so it feels like time collapsed a bit for me i'm sure for a lot of people but the switch is still a really popular game console in fact nintendo released an update to the switch last fall the nintendo switch oled which has some much needed upgrades but a lot of them on the outside of the switch things like an oled display and a better kickstand what nintendo still hasn't addressed is the stuff under the hood could nintendo finally revamp the nintendo switch at some point soon to make it the console that i'd really like it to be when i look back at nintendo's history it looks like this game console refresh cycle for nintendo is about every five to six years you have the nintendo switch came out in 2017. before that you had the wii u 2012 then you had the nintendo wii which was 2006 then you had the gamecube went back 2001 the n64 1996. so it seems like we're ready for a new nintendo console at some point right now the switch is still seemingly going pretty strong but when would nintendo be thinking about refreshing that hardware right now if you're looking to buy a switch i think you just get one of the ones that's out there there's no indication that nintendo is going to be making a new console they haven't announced anything on the other hand nintendo doesn't really tip its hand and those announcements can come completely out of the blue and that's the other question would nintendo do something completely different for its next game console that's not necessarily a given even the nintendo wii u for all of its new ideas was trying to build off of what the nintendo wii was which was a tremendous success it seems likely that nintendo would keep building off of the success of the switch considering it's got such a strong identity sales have been strong and they've been building a lot of game console sales through a lot of families who may even be buying multiple switches the things that i want for the switch are really improvements in how i play games and how good the games look already nintendo has addressed some of the things that i had a problem with before like the kickstand which wasn't that important to fix but i thought was helpful a software update that allows bluetooth audio connections and the display looks nicer and crisper but the chip that gaming chip that the nintendo switch is playing games on that tegra based chip that has been around for a while and has not fundamentally changed now nintendo's games their first party games and a lot of other indie games still look really good on the switch despite being five years old but you can see the signs of age that's the thing that would be most helpful to address in some sort of new graphics update now right now the nintendo switch plays games in 1080p on a tv 720p on the handheld and that hasn't changed even with the switch oled it's still 1080p to a tv 720p to a handheld there's been talk for a while about 4k gaming on a switch maybe some sort of dead kit that people might be working on i mean if they're ever thinking about developing some sort of system that pushes further you'd expect that somebody would be trying to work on developing games for it and that's going to take time could that be in some sort of next version of the hardware who knows i would love to see that because it would mean that

2022 i say just kind of hold on there and hang in but when i think about nintendo and the gaming landscape it feels like between tablets phones playstation 5 xbox series x and s a lot of these systems and their ability to stream games and play more advanced games now feel like they've taken several steps ahead of where nintendo is at which does make it feel like nintendo should upgrade its hardware
